Writer's Block: Critical mass

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Depends on how you define "criticism".  I've had negative feedback to things I've said on LJ.  More often than not, that criticism reflects more poorly on the commenter's intelligence than my own.  Constructive criticism, delivered kindly, can and does "inspire me to change".  But telling me I'm an idiot for thinking the world is round, when "everybody knows" it's flat, just makes me laugh.

Pictures!

First, a picture of the kleenex box I made for hubby's cousin.  It's designed for a rectangular kleenex box, the kleenex comes out through the "chimney".  The "flowers" are blue wooden beads, and the front door is accented with black embroidery floss and a metallic gold bead for the "knob".

Second, a picture of the sweater I crocheted for hubby's aunt.  The sweater is a sort of light sage green color, it's hard to tell how well that shows up in the picture:

Here's a closeup of what the buttons look like:

And these are our cats:

Caitlin, a female mitted sealpoint ragdoll:

Simba, a male bluepoint Siamese:

And our newest addition, Hobbes, a male lynxpoint.  He's mitted like a ragdoll, but he doesn't have the "floppy" quality which gives ragdolls their name, so although he has the "points" like a Siamese/ragdoll, he may just be an exceptionally beautiful mutt :-)
